"I warned you, Kristina," he said, leaning closer to me, his hand scorching my wrist, his silver eyes darkening to a stormy grey. "I told you what would happen if you defied me."

Fire was racing up and down my arm. The rose necklace burned at my throat. 

"I love you, my Angel," he murmured, his eyes closing as he brought my hand up to his cheek. "The only question is, do you love me?"

***

When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior. 

But an obsession changes everything.

A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash. 

Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase. 

As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others.

***

"To love is to burn, to be on fire. Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be set on fire."

I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile.

A kiss for Ree  by hikmarht
39 parts Complete Mature
"You got hotter?. How long have I been away?" Jax drapped an arm over my shoulder. I smiled, but my gaze met with Ludwig's again, his eyes narrowed in a possessive way I knew too well. Well if he's dancing with another girl, then I'm going to dance with Jax. Ludwig wasn't the only one watching. I could feel the quiet hum of people's gazes glued to me. I ignored them all. The only person I couldn't ignore was Jax. His gaze was different. Not possessive like Ludwigs', but something deeper. "Let's dance." I nodded in agreement. I was lost in Jax's scent, the musk of his cologne. His arms were around me, hugging me close in a way that felt... like home. Our bodies moving in perfect sync. One moment, Jax's warmth was mine, and the next-someone violently yanked us apart. My body jolted as I was pulled back, and before I could react, I felt a strong hand on my wrist, dragging me away from Jax. What the hell?. Of course it was Ludwig!. *** She had plans. Life had chaos. Her final year in high school was supposed to be simple: graduate, hang out with her best friends, maybe finally sort out her tangled crushes on Alameen and Jax. But that dream shattered the moment her father returned with a new wife and a stepson. Things spiral fast. The Sassy Six becomes the Sassy Four. One crush ends up in a hospital bed, another moves far away, and just when she thinks it can't get worse, her father forces her into an arranged engagement without a single explanation. But Ree's story is far from over. Just as everything seems lost, secrets start to unravel, about her past, her parents, and a fortune she never knew she had. Turns out, Ree's life isn't falling apart... it's being rearranged.
A Series of Embarrassing Monsters: The Misadventures of Evangeline by Galactica_Writes
27 parts Ongoing
Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline is being raised in a trailer park by a scruffy cat who smells like burnt toast, and the wind-up chambermaid (with key and torsion spring built-in) who found her in a laundry hamper. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Her dreams of becoming a writer got quashed in infancy, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from Miskomin, the cheeky liar who lives a few doors down. As Evangeline's adolescence unfolds, the appearance of an unexpected competitor erodes her burgeoning self-confidence, and a predatory artistic director attempts to rewrite her entire world. Her desperate reactions to these influences and her subsequent return to storytelling bring her inner demons to life. Literally. Eager to master herself, Evangeline tackles a series of monsters, operates a murderous sewing machine, and befriends a sentient doll. Her misadventures help unearth latent abilities and force her relationship with neighbour and frenemy, Miskomin, to undergo a surprising evolution. As her creative journey unfolds, Evangeline gains the understanding and experience she needs to face the final boss: Herself. Will she learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is? *I'm writing this novel as I go. This is a rough draft. I update every Friday evening Eastern Time. **Note regarding chapter images: AI is devastating the environment. Instead of continuing to use it to generate chapter images, I thought it would be fun to instead post non-ai images created by fans and digital artists eager to promote their work.
